I don't run AD. However, I am one of the more outspoken members, and say what others are thinking but don't post.
I think we have all committed your date of deafness to memory from your constant reminding us of exactly when you became deaf. Did you ever consider that no one really gives a rat's azz?
You refuse to respect the Deaf. Why should you be shown any respect? AD is the Deaf's house. Act as a proper guest should and mind your critical self.
